The Spinnaker offers a good balance of value for money, with a convenient location just a short walk from the beach and boardwalk. The staff is attentive, and the rooms are spacious with useful amenities like kitchenettes. However, some aspects, like the bathroom size and humidity issues, could be improved. It's overall a solid choice, especially for families looking for an affordable beach getaway.
